Bulletin No. 2, 2012

30 Chinese University Bulletin No. 2, 2012 T he 2012 summer welcomed a double cohort of students and saw a broader array of orientation activities organized by the Colleges and departments. Two new Colleges which received their first batch of students this year infused their orientation programmes with new elements, instilling a sense of civic awareness in their students. In line with its mission of ‘Entrepreneurial Spirit with Social Responsibility’, Wu Yee Sun College enabled its students to emerge themselves in the community. In collaboration with the Hong Kong Organic Waste Recycling Centre, it organized a site visit for students to witness how kitchen waste can be recycled and reused. The growing of mushrooms on coffee grounds was an example. Students also had the chance to try their hands at organic farming as arranged by Friends of the Earth. In a cooking contest o r g a n i z e d b y t h e College, students were given canteen leftovers a s ing red i ent s and were asked to design creative menus with them. They managed t o p r e p a r e t a s t y dishes with the limited resources which won commendation from Prof. Joseph J.Y. Sung, the Vice-Chancellor, and Prof. Rance Lee, the College Master.
